Hi Milky,
It's a very slight tilt, which hasn't affected the space of the boot or seat belts much, the only effect I can see is the reduced height between the seat and the roof. I am 6ft and fit in easily.
Also, I don't regularly have passengers in the back. As my wife and I don't have little people yet. I've mainly put it in there to quieten the whinging on the odd occasion we have passengers.
It's a relatively cheap mod ($74 including delivery), and easily reversible. The hardest part was removing the bolts on the seats, my art still hurts 36hrs later.
Getting back on point, I can't see how it would compromise safety (but then again I am not qualified in such a field, and it's certainly not to be dismissed lightly) and definitely haven't seen an impact to boot space. Comfort has improved somewhat.
Check out the U.S. forums, heaps more people have done it there and have more useful feedback than mine.
